Small Basic

Probably good for teaching kids. Microsoft is giving away (as in free) their Small Basic, and it works on Win7. More here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b006d58d-c2c7-44ad-936b-e7e2d7de793e[^]

EndSub:laugh: That would be why I never watch NASCAR. MotoGP is much more exciting. I'm working on a training module to teach at-risk high school students a little bit of programming beyond the HTML/JavaScript they are already working with. I'll be using Small Basic. Easier to install. No solution/project files. Less overhead and no background knowledge required to start coding when compared to VS. "New" and start writing some code.

I know what you're thinking! Now if they just had a Small C#...
Best wishes, Hans
it would probably be called c# and C# is its big brother

"But don't worry - base 8 is just like base 10 really.... if you're missing 2 fingers." Only have 1 Tom Lehrer - but like it....
I believe my collection is complete - 3 vinyl albums - as that's all I've ever been able to locate. But I also have the songbook, with sheet music, and have been known to perform a few on stage. :-D

I don't know how you do it, but your one of the few on CP who can turn virtually anything into something funny :-D

Teach them C and assembler in Nano ;)

Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe it could turn both ways... might have just been a programming assignment to have it turn one way by turning the other way a few times.
It sounds like San Francisco, where they have no left turn streets.
